A history of land rights and protest in folk song, story and poem. "Everyone should see this show" — George Monbiot. Three Acres And A Cow connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt to contemporary issues via the Enclosures and Industrial Revolution, drawing a compelling narrative through the people’s history of England. Come and share in these tales as they have been shared for generations.
Join us in welcoming acclaimed singer-songwriters Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine to the Book Tree during their new tour for their beautiful co-created album, Things Found in Books. Haunting, nostalgic and sensitive, each song transports you into lives imagined from an object carried through time between the pages of a book. The show will include favourites from the album alongside new songs and solo performances for an evening not to be missed!
Music of social conscience and love of the natural world. Toni's original songs in the traditional style, accompanied on guitar, dulcimer, hurdy gurdy and bouzouki, bring audiences and communities together with her rousing performances. 100% of all ticket sales will be donated to Protect the Wild.
Get to know some of the other people attending the ceilidh in the friendly atmosphere of the bookshop. We'll enjoy a chat and a drink (wine or cordial), and walk along to the Memorial Hall as a group.
Dance together as communities have for generations. Everyone is welcome and no previous ceilidh experience is needed. There will be a bar open from 6.30pm serving alcohol and soft drinks until the music ends at 10pm.
